Kitten is kinda mean

Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Is there any way you could get him to another vet? Just an option, as around here we don’t have vets close so a trip is a major ordeal. I think a lot of it is he needs neutered. So sad that you both are living your lives around his behavior. I think KJ might be right though, a behaviorist or another vet with a blood workup sounds like your best bet. I think that a lot of it may be the neutering situation, since a male cat unneutered can think of nothing else but getting outside and populating the world.

I have one thought to add Stephanie. This may sound strange but go with me on it. Valerian. They come in capsules and while expensive? You don’t need much. So you need is a fingertip or geometry couple of days. They don’t take to catnip at that age or I’d say use it. There is catnip spray but someone tried it and it didn’t work. Your choice what to do with the rest of the capsule it’s kinda hard to reuse and I threw it out but only had to use that route on him twice. We have an alternate solution. Flashlight. Keep it turned on to make a shadow on the wall. Hope either helps. If not? There are behavioral therapists for cats. I used to read another site and a Greek woman with a cat that slashed her mother’s leg so bad!y she needed hospitalization got one. That worked. Don’t know if you have that kind of money, nobody does really.

Your problem is the same as here. You see back where I come from…you can’t tell. People are from all over but the base make up of this country is French and German and the Message been here since the 1600s too. Why I bring this up is because where I live now is supposed to be religion friendly and I’ve gotten rude glares and verbal emotional cruelty over my star of David. Despite this Mr.Zarrow a Holocaust survivor who gave them lots of money.????? Now back to this…..um….behavioral therapist. Let’s just say I had two medical professionals here look at (and they had degrees) my blood tests and tell me I’m not a diabetic. My sugar was 130. This person refused to help you and I have no clue why. You’re not an immigrant and while Lydia has a problem? Yours is just as valid. I don’t know but if you have access to other means by which to seek out a behavioral therapist I would try again but do what we call “field” him or her over the phone. Ask questions. Don’t just let the mensch come out. It’s costly! Having two cats isn’t good unless they’re from the same litter. Cleanliness and all that. They groom each other. It’s stunning to me the reaction you got. Not smh (shaking my head) unless you count in a surprised and shocked way. If you love your little one you’ll do all you can for him. Keep your home stress free. What? If anything, is upsetting him. Do you have arguments? It’s not always easy to keep yourself quiet. We all have opinions. The Greek woman lived with her mother and they had? Greek style arguments and the cat got upset over it. They also have a bird cage he knocked over. Yuri likes the video of birds but I would never keep one in this apartment. In the early years of my dad’s second marriage he had birds but no cat. Given how little the kitten? Valerian every other day in small doses might be alright but it builds up. Try not to use it too often, just enough to calm him down then stop. It can get scary Be Careful. Before you even try Valerian research other herbs that might be helpful. Look on the internet for something called Felisha. It mimics the scent of the mother and since you can afford it? It may be the magic cure. Lots of people have success with it. Time it will take to send it to you yes but? Worth every penny. It’ll calm him right down. Keep me posted.

That? Would be the edipuss complex. Glad you contacted someone else. I’d be careful what she mixes, make sure cats arent allergic to any of it. Be cautious

Be careful with anything with flowers. Allergies are plentiful there as with roots. It’s great he sat with you. The problem I have with Yuri is the pet toy companies don’t exactly make toys for boys. I tried to replace his lost ball and all they had were 3 of them that were soft and tinkle instead of roll and sound louder. They’re swat toys which isn’t really good. He’s a good catcher. Loves to jump. We do have his white football though. Yay! But? It’s gonna need replacing soon too. May have more luck with that. It’ll be good when you get him neutered. Definitely a way to tone down those hormones. Then at 6 months they become teenagers. A whole nother story but just a phase. More distraction toys will help. You might be able to pick up something at the Christmas market but make sure there are no detachable pieces.

Yuri is 6 months old. The feathers are a danger anyway. Smudge could choke on them. Yuri likes to jump. He’ll bat at things outside but is getting adjusted to doing so inside. I’m confused as to why but?? Well…then he pounces outside too. The batteries I bought for the flashlight ran out fast so now we don’t have it either til maybe next week. Cheap shouldn’t mean they don’t work. Dabird is a fad. You either…as we say here…go with the flow or you don’t and your point about the negative aspect should dissuade others from it. It’s not cheap by any means.
Yuri went to the bathroom outside but I think it’s because one of his foods is a proble. You first good for what ails ya…and for cats, but the mariners catch was not good for him so now it’s find a fish. He won’t eat whitefish nor salmon so I hope they have tuna and chicken because I can’t make tuna and egg the 4th wet because that’s not good for cats. I found out that’s really true by giving him it as a fourth option. He still wants dry but I’m all about variation. People feed dogs one food only and they eat human food too. Cats can’t. The other thing is? Feeding cats one or the other (wet or dry) isn’t good neither is only dry. Young? They need fat, when they get past 6 months you start limiting or diminishing fat but never eliminating it. There are better foods than Friskiest but I can’t afford it right now and I’m a vegetarian and so raw is out. I also don’t know if cats….domesticated for 2 centuries at least? Can process raw.

Hi Stephanie,

Cats eat raw meat if they’re in the wild. There are so many choices today on cat food that fetching raw meat is not necessary. Some TDKers swear by fresh raw meat. For one thing, it’s expensive.

My LilBit loves feather bird toys but, he too would tear up the feathers and that was it. I started going to a hobby shop and buying a bunch of soft, fluffy feathers for him. He loves them.

I hope you found a vet. willing to neuter Smudge now. Have you thought about getting him a cat tree? When he’s in a mood put him on it so he’ll scratch that instead of you.

Purrsonally, I don’t recommend any drugs for kits.
